As I was trying on clothes this morning I came across a problem that I haven't had to face in a VERY long time. All my clothes are TOO BIG!!! Not only are they too big but the style of them just doesn't cut it for me when I am not trying to cover up bulges anymore! Then, I came across another problem...I didn't have a ton of money to spend on getting new clothes. I decided to go to Goodwill today to see what I could find and man o man I found some good deals!

I started in the little girls section and had NO LUCK there. Then I went to the boys section and found a hooded Razorbacks sweatshirt, a navy blue and yellow jacket from Land's End and a perfect pair of jeans from JC Penny in a size 6 slim...PERFECT (his size 5's are getting a little too short in the length!)

So here are the bargains that I got for myself...

Two pairs of capri's: the black pair are SUPER cute from Ann Taylor and the others are from NY&Co. The olive pair has some oil stains on them but I know just the thing to get them out. FYI...use lighter fluid to get oil stains out...spray a stream of lighter fluid on the stain and then wash immediately and the stain will disappear.

Then I got all these cute tops and another pair of shorts. The shirts are from NY&Co., Polo, Old Navy, Gap JC Penny (or Khol's) and Walmart. The shorts are from Target.

And I was also able to get Ariel two pairs of dress up shoes and a little purse that had sunglasses and a cell phone in it!

So, I guess you are probably wanting to know how much the grand total was, huh? Well, it was $46.00...can you believe it?? I was shocked!

On another note. We had a 2.5 earthquake here in NWA. I didn't feel anything since I was on the road heading to Goodwill but Dan was home and he said that he felt it. He said that it felt like someone slamming a door downstairs. Pretty crazy!
